Description

Technical Field

[0002] In the water-cooled heat dissipation system of wind turbine generator converter, two cooling fans are usually provided. The fan start-up sequence is usually based on temperature setpoints: when the temperature reaches the first setpoint, fan No. 1 starts, when the temperature reaches the second setpoint, fan No. 2 starts, and so on. However, this fixed start-up sequence will cause fan No. 1 to be used frequently, shortening its lifespan, while the other fans are used less frequently. Therefore, we propose a fan switching device for the water-cooled heat dissipation system of wind turbine generator converter. Utility Model Content

[0030] Reference Figures 1-4 A fan switching device for a water-cooled heat dissipation system of a wind turbine generator converter is provided. This fan switching device includes a control cabinet, which consists of a cabinet body 1 and a cabinet door 2. The control cabinet contains multiple contactors 4, fan motors, and temperature sensors. The temperature sensors are used to monitor the temperature of the converter heat sink to trigger the start of the fan. Each contactor 4 controls the start and stop of one fan motor. The contactors 4 are electrically connected to a manual changeover switch 3 for adjusting the connection mode of the control coil of the contactor 4 through a control circuit for controlling the on and off of the contactors 4. The control circuit can control the on and off of the contactors 4 according to the temperature signal and the state of the manual changeover switch 3.

[0031] Reference Figure 3 The control coil of contactor 4 is connected to the control circuit via manual changeover switch 3. In application, the operator periodically goes to the site to switch the position of manual changeover switch 3 to change the connection method of the control coil of contactor 4, thereby adjusting the fan start sequence.

[0032] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 The manual selector switch 3 is equipped with gear 1 and gear 2 for starting different fan motors, and gear 1 and gear 2 are symmetrically arranged.

[0033] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 The starting sequence of different fan motors is as follows: when the manual selector switch 3 is in position 1, fan motor #1 starts first, and fan motor #2 starts second.

[0034] When the manual selector switch 3 is in position 2, fan motor #2 starts first, and fan motor #1 starts second.

[0035] Reference Figure 1 The control cabinet adopts a double-sided door design, and the cabinet door 2 is installed on the cabinet body 1 through a hinge node. An auxiliary structure for auxiliary maintenance is provided between the cabinet door 2 and the cabinet body 1.

[0036] Reference Figure 1The auxiliary structure consists of a fixed plate 5 installed on the cabinet door 2, a plug-in piece 6 installed on the fixed plate 5, and an auxiliary rod 7. The auxiliary rod 7 can be detached and installed on the plug-in piece 6 and the cabinet body 1.

[0037] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: The operator switches the gear of the manual switch 3 once a month or quarter, and records the time and gear of each switch, as well as the operating status and temperature change of the fan. If the operator's manual switch 3 is in gear 1, fan #1 starts first and fan #2 starts next. If the operator's manual switch 3 is in gear 2, fan #2 starts first and fan #1 starts next. This achieves the periodic switching of the fan starting sequence and also achieves the purpose of evaluating the use of the fan motor.

[0038] When maintenance is required, the cabinet door 2 can be opened from both sides, and then the auxiliary rod 7 can be inserted into the connector 6 and the cabinet body 1 to assist in opening the cabinet door 2. This allows for separate front and rear operations, reducing work time and improving the heat dissipation effect inside the cabinet body 1. This enhances the convenience of control cabinet maintenance and operation, and also improves the heat dissipation and ventilation effect of the control cabinet.

[0039] This utility model provides a fan switching device for a water-cooled heat dissipation system of a wind turbine generator converter. By adjusting the connection method of the control coil of contactor 4, the fan starting sequence can be switched periodically, so as to achieve the purpose of even utilization of the fan motor, extend the service life of the fan, and has high practicality and economy.

[0040] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solution of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
